Thanks for your reply!

I'm running Bacula 2.2.8 on CentOS 5.1. Is that new enough? 

I've been reading http://bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Migration.html but I'm
still wondering about a couple of things.. 

I'd like to have backups on _both_ disk (for fast restores) and 
tape (for transporting them to a remote location) but it seems 
migration in bacula moves backups instead of copying.. 

so I can't do fast restores from disk anymore after I've migrated my
backups to tape.. and basicly I'd need to copy to a tape immediately after
backup to disk ends.. 

Is there a way to automatically run migration job after main backup job
ends?
